Mary Worth 965

Ever since I got you that tin can phone on a string, you do nothing but talk to your friends next door. You send them text messages on paper airplanes you throw out the window, and when the birds sit on the string between the two cans, you send tweets.

I'm past the point of getting creeped out. This was Mary Worth's brilliant advice to Wilbur?? Hound her to death? If I were Dawn's Twitter buddy I'd be telling her it's time to take out a restraining order on Dear Old Dad.

@Punky and Elaine: My initial thoughts were also of Dawn's potential plans to take out a restraining order on needy, creepy Wilbur. I'm expecting her to change her identity and move out of the country over the next few weeks, inciting her father to a paranoid frenzy the likes of which Charterstone has never seen.

Wilbur will throw Dawn out to find her own apartment, like he should have a year ago before her "addiction" got out of control. Then Dawn will spend her days lazing in bed, tweeting and poking her friends on facebook, until she runs out of ham and has to get a job at Genius Bar at the Apple Store.
